Ron Wyden's petition: Hold CIA Leaders Accountable

from my email ...



Scuba,

The CIA leadership continues to make headlines, but for all the wrong reasons.

Too often, they have stepped on our Constitutional principles. That includes violating the privacy rights of American citizens and hacking U.S. Senate computers in the midst of an investigation of the CIA.

It’s time to hold its leadership accountable. Sign our petition and let them hear you today!

Make no mistake: The CIA does important work to keep us safe here at home and around the globe. But they can’t have free reign to do as they please without any check on their authority.

This is why I’ve led the fight for rock-solid, continuous oversight of their work to keep the agency in line with our Constitution and the law.

Now, it’s time for the CIA leadership to respect the Constitutional limits of their authority, and we’re calling for Director John Brennan to keep the CIA in check. Add your name today and help us lead the charge!

So far, leaders in the CIA have refused to get on board and take responsibility. Let’s make them hear us!


Ron Wyden

Sterling's show trial stands as an example to stamp out the First Amendment, instead of investigating the REAL criminals: the traitors who lied America into war and the banksters who looted the Treasury and emptied the Wall Street casino, which We the People had to pay back "100-cents on the dollar," as Tim Geithner put it.
